function OnlyDigits(TheInput)
{
var msg=TheInput.value;
var chr;
for ( i=0; i < msg.length; i++ )
{
chr=msg.substring(i, i+1);
if ( chr < "0" || chr > "9" )
{

This solution will prevent anything but digits as the user types:
function numOnly(event, field)
{
var eventKey, keychar;
if (window.event)
{
eventKey = window.event.keyCode;
}
else if (event)
{
eventKey = event.which;
}
else
{
return true;
}
//turn the event code into a real character
keychar = String.fromCharCode(eventKey);
//if it's a number we'll work with it, otherwise we won't
if (("0123456789"
.indexOf(keychar) > -1)
{
return true;
}
//no number entered, don't accept it
//you can also insert an alert if you
//want users to know they can enter only digits
//As is, if the user types a non-digit, nothing
//happens at all
else
{
return false;
}
}
The call looks like this:
<input type="text" name="txtBox" onkeypress=" return numOnly(event, this)">
function numOnly(event, field)
{
var eventKey, keychar;
if (window.event)
{
eventKey = window.event.keyCode;
}
else if (event)
{
eventKey = event.which;
}
else
{
return true;
}
//turn the event code into a real character
keychar = String.fromCharCode(eventKey);
//if it's a number we'll work with it, otherwise we won't
if (("0123456789"
.indexOf(keychar) > -1){
return true;
}
//no number entered, don't accept it
//you can also insert an alert if you
//want users to know they can enter only digits
//As is, if the user types a non-digit, nothing
//happens at all
else
{
return false;
}
}
The call looks like this:
<input type="text" name="txtBox" onkeypress=" return numOnly(event, this)">
